Character March 2025: Your Royal Slyness

This one will hurt me since it's probably the published product I disliked the most out of my itch.io products yet. If I remove games from there, this one might go first.

My ratings will be done on four scales, each ranging from 1 to 5:

  • RPG: How much does this feel like an RPG to me, as opposed to a board game?
  • Soup Stone: How little content does the game expect you to add? For this scale, 0 is a complete Soup Stone since I'd like to sum the scores to see the game's total score.
  • Would I Play: If I were given a chance to, would I play this game?
  • Would I Write: If I were inspired enough and had time/energy for it, would I get back to working on this game?


Your Royal Slyness

Drew Ace of Clubs and a King of Spades. I guess I'm the Monarch.

King Patriclus XII is the head monarch of the Wornall Kingdom. He starts the game off with 4 Secrets and 4 Rumors, and his secret motive is to Silence (or perhaps Kill) a Foreign Monarch, perhaps the ruler of a neighboring kingdom.

Now then, let's create some secrets and rumors!

  • Secret: His men stole a valuable treasure from the neighboring kingdom.
  • Secret: He seduced one of his servants several times.
  • Secret: He ordered his men to smear the other king in his own kingdom.
  • Secret: The actual Patriclus XII is dead, this is Hyacinthus impersonating his older brother.
  • Rumor: He cheated on his wife.
  • Rumor: He poisoned his wife several times.
  • Rumor: He poisoned the king of the neighboring kingdom.
  • Rumor: He dabbles in witchcraft with a secret coven of his maid-witches.


Ratings

1/5 RPG. You could put roleplaying in there. But it feels like a board game through and through.

1/5 Soup Stone. I feel like it doesn't give you nearly enough to work with, though I might be biased.

0/5 Would I Play. I don't think so. I literally don't even feel like reading it.

0/5 Would I Write. Only if I completely overhauled the game.

2/20 Total Rating
